Do yourself a favor if you're ordering another screen by running down to any acrylic store and spend $1.50 on an acrylic bit. They have a different taper and will great decrease the chance you accidentally break out the replacement.
before i order a screen i may try some acrylic epoxy and fix it then smooth it and paint it black. you do not need to see through it, its pretty low.sigpic

Seabass - that's a drag! I'm bummed that happened to you. I'm curious as to your method. I didn't try to drill the screen to use the upper mount holes because the stock screen bends the opposite way from the curvature (see the side by side pic on page one). I was afraid the stress on the screen would crack it. That's why I drilled it at the bottom and used zip ties to secure it laterally. I am stoked that someone is adopting the idea regardless of the method.
Waltari - Great advice as always.

Thanks for reading folks!If it ain't zip tied, it ain't modified.

P.S. - love your paint work. Read your build thread a while back.If it ain't zip tied, it ain't modified.
